Hi! I am Freddy Reiber, a second year PhD student in the Computing & Data Science program at Boston University, where I am fortuned to be advised by Kira Goldner. I currently work in the Algorithmic Game Theory/EconCS space, with a focus on understanding and grappling with inequality in standard economical situations. I also do some work in theoretical computer science education.

My current research interests include:

Like any PhD student, I like to do a lot but often don't have time. Some of those activities are detailed here.

For an often outdated listing and preprint versions of my papers see here.

For recordings of some of my talks/lectures see here.

For my UTeach Class, which was ran in the Spring of 2022, see here

I have a blog - "The Board Game Scholar". Originally the blog was mainly focused on looking at modern board games through a theoretical computer science lens. However, I have also started to write about some algorithmic game theory concepts, and some combinatorial game theory stuff. I also have a personal blog "Tiny Thoughts From a PhD Student With a Tiny Bit of Free Time". The posts here really range from anything to everything and are super infrequent (basically during the summer) but are often focused on some sort of media or culture critique.

For things that I think are cool, but don't really fit any of the above, I also maintain a secret page that can be found through finding the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.  

Finally, here is my social media and contact information. Note that these communities are often connected with my hobbies or academic interests. Also I have done my best to update Goodreads and BGG, but the lists are not complete.
